Bernie Sanders Endorses Zohran Mamdani for Mayor
Briefly

Senator Bernie Sanders has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City, praising his grassroots campaign and fiscal plans targeting wealthier individuals and corporations for funding affordable housing and public transit. This support precedes speculation fueled by Mamdani’s earlier endorsement from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Mamdani expressed admiration for Sanders as a profound influence in his life and committed to fighting for the working class as mayor. The political scene is energized, with Mamdani's candidacy gaining momentum amid endorsements from progressive organizations, showcasing a shift in NYC's political landscape.
Vermont senator Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday that he is endorsing fellow democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor, giving the 33-year-old assemblymember another boost in his challenge to front-runner Andrew Cuomo.
At this pivotal and dangerous moment in American history, status-quo politics is not good enough. We need the kind of visionary leadership that Zohran is providing in this campaign. In my view, Zohran Mamdani is the best choice for mayor of New York City.
